A southeastern Michigan farmer says dry weather has trimmed his yield potential this season.
John Tuckerman tells Brownfield, “From east of Blissfield all the way into Monroe County crops are really suffering.”
He says the dryness has kept pest and disease issues limited, but everything from fuel to fertilizer costs more.
“Everybody says, ‘Wow, the prices are really high, you’ll make a lot of money,’ but the inputs have almost doubled,” he explains.
